Frankly speaking, I liked the STEM tournament because of the process of discussing ideas. We managed to unite all our opinions and thoughts to create something really amazing — our idea. Moreover, the project gave us a chance to learn some new things related to modern technologies. I also found the task to be rather creative.

The first step of our task was to collect ideas. There were a lot of them, and we were discussing and thinking of their development. It was very interesting, because we were to find something new and study the topic. And we really got to know a lot of new things! Then we were thinking over all the details as if we had been real scientists. It was very creative!

Online STEM tournament is a great opportunity for self-realization of students. Using STEM disciplines in practice gives a full understanding of what you really can do in future. Working on development of the idea, working in a team and communicating in the foreign language was really inspiring, because it helped us believe in ourselves and our abilities. I think it was the first step in further achievements.

Hi, we are member of team #3. For us this Innovation Tournament was really interesting and creative. Out team spent those days with our new partners and friends from Miami. To tell you the truth, it was really impressive. It was our first experience of working in a team with people from another country. It was great to brainstorm and sort out the ideas. We realized how important the STEM disciplines are. The most catching thing was our communication with  Britney, Shirley and Ivan, they are really talented people. We want to thank them for this wonderful opportunity and experience!

It is my favorite project! I really liked the format of the tournament, because it was a pleasure to work in one team both with my friends, and with our American teammates. They are very clever, and hardworking. All of us are very good at various STEM disciplines, that's why it was quite easy to work. We brainstormed, created, discussed, searched, and thought over the ideas. It was sometimes difficult to come to one solution but we managed.

During this online tournament we were able to meet new people. We started working on our project as a team. The only problem was the time difference between Moscow and Miami. But we were able to solve it. Our team believes that it is necessary to develop as many as possible of similar programs to let us learn new skills. STEM online tournament taught us how to work as a team, solve problems and develop new ideas.

STEM competition was a new step in developing our communicative skills in foreign languages. We've managed to talk to our American partners not only in English, but even in Spanish language! It was very unusual, but successful! We want to thank the organization of this wonderful project, because it helped us discover new traits and characteristics. Now we can say with full confidence that we have dreamt of about the opportunity to participate in something like that, and now we feel just fine.
